One user called it “a quirky entertaining detective series” with an ‘odd-couple detective team’, writing: “Easily-digestible, enjoyable viewing – believable core characters – interesting stories flying above the mere procedural.”
Another user called the show a “delightful mystery series”, adding: “I have already started recommending this to my closest friends and can’t wait for season two. I found it thoroughly delightful!”

“It’s good to see Seymour in a series again. And while I enjoy a good British cozy mystery, I can’t recall ever reading or watching one based in Ireland. I’m enjoying the characters of Fergus and Harry and the emerging friendship and partnership between them,” penned another.
“Jane Seymour is wonderful in this comedy as Harry Wild, a recently retired English professor. Harry is not some old stodgy retiree but a vibrant, sassy and often hilarious amateur sleuth who can’t help but correct improper grammar even when dangerous situations,” wrote one fan of the show.
While most of the reviews favoured the show, one viewer had this to say: “The storyline is interesting enough. I really like Fergus and Charlie. Normally I like Jane Seymour, but her character is obnoxious. I can totally see why her son calls her by her first name.”
Seasons 1-4 of Harry Wild are streaming on U.
